• .NET Development code generation using an XML scema produced from Enterprise Architect

  good day everyone.. i am just wondering if there are other approach that i can use to generate sql scripts and c# codes out of the xml produced by EA(Enterprise Architect), for the mean time i am using the strategy which goes like this.. i parse the main xml document produced by the EA into another xml document which corresponds to the template i used to create the script and the codes. and for me this method is somewhat tiresome and inaccurate because most of the result is based on my own conception which eliminates the property of being reusable. it would be great for me if anyone can help me regarding this matter, thank you ve ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView not showing values for first added row

  I have a DataGridView bound to a custom collection that implementes IBindingList.  Everything works great except for the very first time that I add a new item.  When I first add a new item to the underlying collection, a new row in the DataGridView appears with all of the proper columns, but the values are blank. I know the values are there because I've implemented an "Edit" button which opens up a customized form for the item in the collection.  The DataGridView appears to be getting notified that a row has been added; I just can't see the values!  I can even raise a ListChangedType.Reset event in the cust ...Show All

• Visual Studio Specifying a generated CS file as to be not-source-controlled

  I'm using integrated source control in a C# project.  I recall a Source-Control related feature in the VS.NET 2003 (or 2002 ) IDE that let you identify a particular file as to be not-source-controlled'.  I used this feature in the past to indicate that a generated CS file was to not be checked in with the project. I had thought a menu option on File->Source Control let you do this, but I cannot find any such menu option. Is it possible in VS.NET 2005 to specify that a particular file is to be not source controlled I'm using a Perforce SCC provider, in case this is a source-code-provider specific feature. Thanks in advance, Ho ...Show All

• Windows Forms setting textbox text onto a child Form

  Yes that helps. I've figured out that I need to pass the pointer to the textBox to function X.

• Visual C++ Why AfxGetResourceHandle causes Asserts?

  My scenario is somehow complicated but I try to simplify it: I have a CLR class libraray that wrapps some functionalities of a MFC dll.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Are WCF services ready for primetime??

  I'm curious to get the opinion of you on this forum. I'm in the very early stages of an SOA, enterprise application for a large company. We will not be ready to roll out a production quality application for at least a year. However, with WCF getting release w/ Vista, and scheduled to go out sometime early next year, do you think it makes sense to be building WCF services in Beta 2, or does it make more sense to build traditional ASMX web services now, and then upgrade to WCF sometime down the road when they're fully baked Thanks Kirk Hi Kirk, We can discuss this from development point o ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) my pet project: AnimationBehaviors

  I’ve been working on a project in my spare time called “AnimationBehaviors”. Now that I’ve got it working reasonably well I’d like to share it with the world. The animation system in WPF is really powerful, however it’s not always easy to create certain effects in XAML without falling down to code. Even when code is not required, it’s not always easy to create reusable animation effects. Enter AnimationBehaviors. AnimationBehaviors is a library that makes it easy to add common animations to elements in XAML with little effort. By utilizing attached properties I’ve created a system where adding (sometimes) complicated animations becomes ...Show All
